The Ipod Mini proved a sucess beyond anyone’s wildest expectations – even Apple’s.

Blogging to let off steam…
I like serious online content. I like sites that enlighten me, or point me in an alternative direction. But let’s face it – the web is a great place for entertainment.

Authentic Behavior in User Testing (Jakob Nielsen’s Alertbox)
